[RESOLVED] WiFi connection on Raspbian Buster impossible

Configuration
1

Hello,
I have been trying for a few hours now to configure my Raspberry 3B+ with Gladys V4 using WIFI instead of Ethernet.

I tried the simple and classic method: Connecter son Raspberry Pi au réseau Wifi

And I tried the old method with Interfaces: Configurer une connexion WiFi sur le Raspberry-Pi

On this post they seem to say that it is not possible: community.gladysassistant.com/t/wifi-sur-gladys-v4/5102

Is this a HypriotOS or Docker issue? I also looked into that, but I couldn’t find the files they were referring to on the machine… As they say here: Setting up Wifi in Hypriot [solved] - #4 by Elco - BrewPi Community

Anyway, I’m a bit lost :frowning:
A helping hand would not be refused please!

P.S.: Sorry for the broken links but for new users 2 links per message

Hello @Mijsoot!

We no longer use HypriotOS, so don’t worry about those messages.

The tutorial you linked is very old (2015), and things have changed since then. You need to look for Raspbian Buster (the latest version of Raspbian we use in Gladys).

I found this up-to-date tutorial:

Can you test it and let us know?

Hello guys,
Thanks for your answers, but I think you were too quick …
I specified in my message that I could only put 2 links so I broke the links to be able to put them in my text and the first one was this:

And I specify that it is indeed the simple and classic method and indeed up to date.

In addition, I am lucky enough to have 2 Boxes at home and therefore 2 WIFI networks, so I was able to try both and I have the same result.
In fact, I don’t really know which Log to look at to find the problem.

@pierre-gilles thanks for the info on HypriotOS which explains why I didn’t find any file!

@cicoub13 I read the tutorial and it’s exactly the same one I followed.

In fact, are you able to connect to WIFI???

Thanks in advance anyway!

Well, I finally found it…
I don’t understand because it’s supposed to be automatic on the latest versions of Debian, but you had to specify the type of WIFI key with

key_mgmt=WPA-PSK

In the file /etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant.conf, which gives us

country=fr
update_config=1
ctrl_interface=/var/run/wpa_supplicant

network={
   scan_ssid=1
   ssid="Your_SSID"
   psk="Your_pass"
   key_mgmt=WPA-PSK
}

Thanks anyway! And this might help others

Tested today. It works perfectly! Thanks!
